Kia Motors is refreshing its Sorento for the 2015 model year by lowering, lengthening, and widening its mid-size SUV.

Kia released photos of the vehicle on Aug. 11 showing the updated vehicle's more swept-back styling and extended wheelbase. Kia incorporated design elements from its Kia Cross GT concept it brought to the 2013 Chicago Auto Show.

Kia has added 3.7 inches (95 mm) in length, reduced height by 0.59 inches (15 mm), and added 3.1 inches (80 mm) to the wheelbase for the European model.

The 2015 Sorento will be shown in Korea later this month and make its debut at the Paris Motor Show on Oct. 2.
